A reasonable estimate is W1/W0= 0.97 to 0.99
Climbing and Accelerating to cruise alt. and Mach number M
Subsonic: Wi /Wi−1 = 1.0065 - 0.0325 M
Supersonic: Wi /Wi−1 = 0.991 - 0.007 M - 0.01 M2
Starting at Mach 0.1.
For an acceleration beginning at other than Mach 0.1, the weight
fraction calculated by the above equation for the given ending
Mach number should be divided by the weight fraction calculated
for the beginning Mach number.

Range capability can be determined from Eqn.2 by considering the
known takeoff weight as the guess W0 and varying the cruise legs
to match the evaluated W0.
Similar process may be taken for the other parameters.

Fuselage fineness ratio
Ratio between the fuselage length and max. diameter.
Theoretically, for a fixed internal volume subsonic drag is
minimized by a fineness ratio of about 3 while supersonic drag is
minimized by a fineness ratio of about 14.

Wing reference area (including the area extended to aircraft center
line) is determined by
